Can late night eating cause digestive disorders?
My husband has erratic eating habits. He usually doesn't eat breakfast, then snacks throughout the day and has a large dinner typically. He always complains of stomach upset but his gastro hasn't been able to find any issues. Could it be because of his eating schedule?

No, the eating habits may be irrelevant. I would need to know more about what the "upset" really means. You should insist that the GI doctor give an explanation for the symptoms and offer some treatment.
Yes we advise that patients do not eat within 2h of sleeping and no liquids within one hour.
Eating too close to bedtime is a common cause of acid reflux.This can cause early AM abdominal discomfort.
Yes. Reflux
Yes, his food habits seem to be a perfect setup for his symptoms.
